Helimutt - that little snippet hadn't escaped my notice and you are absolutely right
Jim - an auto to a flare recovery (ie the hover taxy) should be a basic skill of any helicopter pilot but especially those flying twins since it is the closest they will come to practicing an EOL. One of the first things you learn in helicopter flying is how to autorotate and for very good reason. If you say this is hazardous then the training is wrong because having to complete a real EOL with no idea of the profile is far more hazardous. I am well aware of the arguments about the fatigue that autos impose on the airframe but profit (ie extending the aircraft TBOs) shouldn't affect safety.
If you want to let probability decide for you then be my guest - I am always ready for a single engine failure in my line of work so why shouldn't I be ready for the second one to let go as well (quoting probability in this case is like trusting statistics)
Spanish - the military teach a variety of techniques for single engine approaches but most are within a tactical ie low level remit and the basic SE approach will be from 500' or below trading speed for power until 10% (to pluck a figure from the sky) below your max available to reduce the groundspeed and hence the ground run (useful where space is limited ie not at an airfield). Airmanship, in a non tactical environment, can be superimposed on that teaching and lead you to surmise that floating around at low level on one engine could be a less than ideal scenario - the first thing I encourage people to do is climb to give you time and options.
